Tinderbox Lyrics - The Captain And The Kid - Elton John

Nostradamus said "I predict 

That the world will end at half past six" 

What he didn't say was exactly when 

Was he listening to the radio? 

Was he listening to the government? 

Well he got us spooked anyway 

We'd been running hot up until today 

But a wind of change blew across our sails 

We were coasting on a winning streak 

We were kings until the power failed

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

(We've been living in a tinderbox) 

(And two sparks can set the whole thing off) 

(Rubbing up together around the clock) 

(Lately we've been getting more roll than rock) 

(You and me together in a tinderbox) 

(And two sparks can set the whole thing off) 

(Rubbing up together around the clock) 

(Lately we've been getting more roll than rock) 

Godzilla came in disguise 

Tore the building down right before our eyes 

Kept the needle out of the red balloon 

Was he worried we might go too far 

Maybe wind up rhyming moon and June 

The sun descends down in Mexico 

While a fancy car back on Savile Row 

Shows the price of fame leads to overkill 

Things are gonna have to change 

Some holes along the road get filled 

(We've been living in a tinderbox) 

(And two sparks can set the whole thing off) 

(Rubbing up together around the clock) 

(Lately we've been getting more roll than rock) 

(You and me together in a tinderbox) 

(And two sparks can set the whole thing off) 

(Rubbing up together around the clock) 

(Lately we've been getting more roll than rock) 

Pressure's gonna cook us if we don't unlock it 

Guns going off if we don't uncock it 

We've gotta climb out of the other one's pocket 

Or we're gonna burn, out on this beautiful rocket 

(We've been living in a tinderbox) 

(And two sparks can set the whole thing off) 

(Rubbing up together around the clock) 

(Lately we've been getting more roll than rock) 

(You and me together in a tinderbox) 

(And two sparks can set the whole thing off) 

(Rubbing up together around the clock) 

(Lately we've been getting more roll than rock) 

(You and me together in a tinderbox) 

(And two sparks can set the whole thing off) 

(Rubbing up together around the clock) 

(Lately we've been getting more roll than rock) 

(You and me together in a tinderbox) 

(And two sparks can set the whole thing off) 

(Rubbing up together around the clock) 

(Lately we've been getting more roll than rock)
